Dear List Members,

We are offering the last of the Sutter's Mill carbonaceous chondrite house smasher hammer stone.

Due to overwhelming demand for pieces of this historic hammer stone featured on BBC worldwide, we decided to even break up our own collection pieces (we each have a complete stone, not just the hammer stone). We feel that to provide the collecting community small pieces of this extremely rare meteorite is best served by breaking only the hammer stone up into affordable pieces.

With less than 400 grams total known weight after 3 full weeks of intensive ground and air searches, the likelihood of much more material being found is decreasing by the day.

We have only the following pieces left after breaking up the last two larger specimens (Only 1.6856g). We had to spend more than $60,000 purchasing less than two ounces of this meteorite, so please put the pricing into perspective. This is from the one and only hammer stone which you can see on BBC and say. "I own a piece of that stone"... The provenance is impeccable, the story thrilling, and the proof undeniable.

Once these are sold there is not another speck of the hammer stone to be provided.
